Spanish Tour Easter 2010

Matches:
- Tuesday 6th April: v Sporting Alfas/40 Club of Spain - Thursday 8th April: Triangular 20/20 tournament with Sporting Alfas and Harrow School - Friday 9th April: v Harrow School 1st XI We are at our preferred hotel; it is walking distance from the ground and the beach. The address is: The rate per night including breakfast is: Doublé/twin : 42€ (i.e. 21€ per person) and Individual : 26€
Please note that there may not be net facilities before the first match so potential tourists will need to demonstrate their match fitness and get in some practice before departure....no kidding!
(Last time we went to Alfas in the first game we scored exactly the same number of runs off the bat as they did.......but we lost by 26 runs due to runouts, wides, no balls, misfields and dopped catches because it was first outing since September for most people and lots of very ugly stuff crawled out of bag unopened since the previous September!)
All those coming and wishing to be selected for the Harrow match will be required sign the pledge! There doesn't seem much point in getting good fixtures and then not being capable of fulfilling them! Simon Halliday tells me that although Harrow do not have many potential 1st class players they do have someone who bowls really quick. We have not got Cranleigh and Radley as opponents this year so it will be great to play Harrow.......and give them a good game.
As ever with this tour, book your own flights to Alicante. There are plenty of options but they will start to go up soon so get in early. Tell me when you are arriving and I will organise transfers. In fact there is also an efficient and economical bus from the airport to Benidorm, which is just a few kms from where we stay. If you want to hire a car, you can do so quite economically at the airport at Alicante; I am sure someone will be willing to car share.
